About Polyurethane Foam

Polyurethane is a polymer composed of organic units joined by urethane links. Most polyurethanes are thermosetting polymers that do not melt when heated. Polyurethane polymers are commonly formed by reacting a di- or polyisocyanate with a polyol. The isocyanates and polyols used to make polyurethanes contain an average of two or more functional groups per molecule.
